Hi, I really want to remove my background image to a plain colour background. Thing is, every time I click "Remove background image" and "Save changes" the background image reappears. I repeat it so many times, and I am super frustrated that it doesn't remove the background! Please help! And thank you so much. By the way, it doesn't show the way your screen cap shows, where you have the background and then next to it "Don't use a background image". Instead, it just says "Remove background image". BUT IT DOESN'T WORK. Thanks again.
